Fujitsu and Toshiba Sign MOU to Merge Mobile Phone Businesses

Saturday, June 19, 2010

Tokyo — Fujitsu Limited and Toshiba Corporation announced that they have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to merge their mobile phone businesses. According to the MOU, Toshiba will transfer its mobile phone business to a new company to be established October 1, 2010, and Fujitsu will acquire a majority of the shares in the company.

By merging their mobile phones businesses, Fujitsu and Toshiba are aiming to become the No. 1 provider of mobile phones in Japan. Collaboration in the mobile phone business will allow Fujitsu and Toshiba to strengthen their handset development platforms for the Japanese market and enable the companies to continue to create highly competitive products for their customers. Both Fujitsu and Toshiba are market leaders in designing compact, highly functional handsets. This competitive advantage will be leveraged to develop highly competitive next-generation handsets for the expanding smartphone market.

Competitive Advantages

Fujitsu manufactures some of Japan's most advanced mobile phones for sale through partner NTT DOCOMO, INC. Fujitsu's proprietary technologies include mobile phone software platforms, water- and dust-resistant design, fingerprint security and sensor technologies. Fujitsu mobile phones have become the handset of choice for many generations of users in Japan.

Toshiba manufactures a range of mobile phone handsets that include a wealth of world-class technologies, including smartphone-related technologies and imaging technologies developed in its LCD television business. In Japan, Toshiba provides its handsets through sales partners KDDI CORPORATION, NTT DOCOMO, INC., and SOFTBANK MOBILE Corp. Last year, Toshiba shifted domestic handset production overseas in order to raise global cost competitiveness.

Business Development Plans

By combining their mobile phone development know-how and technological strengths, Fujitsu and Toshiba intend on enhancing their handset development capabilities and at the same time improving business efficiency. On the basis of these strengths, the companies will manufacture handsets which are responsive to the needs of customers and competitive in the dynamic mobile phone market. Through continuous innovation, Fujitsu and Toshiba will collaborate to develop new handsets for markets in and outside Japan which support rich and rewarding lifestyles.

Fujitsu and Toshiba plan to sign a final contract at the end of July 2010.

LifeTouch: NEC preps Android-based tablet PC

Wednesday, June 16, 2010

A number of Japanese companies, for example NTT, have announced or hinted at tablet PCs in the past months, but NEC is the first to actually name, spec and date its first model. Dubbed LifeTouch [JP], the NEC tablet will feature a 7-inch TFT LCD screen (800×480 resolution), weigh 400 grams, and run on Android 2.1.

NEC says users will be able to operate the LifeTouch either with their fingers or a stylus. Other features include:

* ARM Cortex A8 CPU
* Mobile DDR 256MB
* Wi-Fi IEEE802.11b/11g
* Bluetooth Ver.2.1 + EDR
* 3MP camera
* GPS
* accelerometer
* internal mono mic
* internal stereo speakers
* SD/SDHC slot, two USB 2.0 ports
* 8 hours of battery life

The company is planning to market the tablet to businesses as well, providing access to NEC servers to run cloud computing applications smoothly (the tablet is also named “Cloud Communicator”).

The LifeTouch is scheduled to hit Japanese stores in October. No word on pricing or international availability yet. The iPad went on sale late last month in Japan and so far appears to be doing well.

Tapping the Data Communications Market

From Acorn to Oak

Take a stroll through a forest of oaks on an autumn day and consciously try to avoid stepping on the acorns. Can you do it? Perhaps, but it won’t be as easy as you think. At that time of year, acorns are ubiquitous. For various reasons, however, most will never mature into oak trees.

If only one acorn succeeds, however, a forest can prosper and grow. With each successive year, the seedling grows taller and stronger, its roots seeking water, its branches multiplying and dividing in search of more energy. As long as the tree can adapt itself to the surrounding environment, it will thrive.

Now take a stroll through a modern Japanese city and consciously try to find someone who doesn’t have a mobile phone. It can be done, of course, but here again the task won’t be easy. The Japanese market for mobile communications is often described as “mature” or “saturated” and, frankly, mobile phones are as ubiquitous as acorns.

DOCOMO planted an acorn in 1992, when it launched mobile communications services in Japan. Over the years, the mobile network has matured from a seedling with basic services – voice communication, text messaging – into a trunk that now supports a complex ecosystem of creative and useful services for the mobile internet.

A mobile communication ecosystem is sustained by revenue generated from voice and data services. As far as DOCOMO is concerned, the introductions of i-mode™ and then 3G services have seen its roots tapping incrementally larger flows of data-related revenue since the early 2000s. Despite a decade of sustained growth, DOCOMO sees significant untapped potential in the data communication market.
Raising Data ARPU

If we break down ARPU – average revenue per user, a tool for measuring revenue sources and growth – into its component revenue streams, we can see that for DOCOMO voice and data services are converging. For fiscal year 2009 (April 2009-March 2010), the share of voice services was still higher than that of data services, but DOCOMO expects data to overtake voice for the first time by the end of fiscal year 2010 (March 2011):

images

In FY2009, DOCOMO’s ARPU was 5,350 yen (2,900 yen from voice + 2,450 from data). For FY2010, DOCOMO expects to see ARPU of 5,110 yen (2,550 from voice + 2,560 from data) – with data ARPU rising 110 yen (4.5%) year over year. In FY2011, DOCOMO expects to see data ARPU continue to increase, with aggregate ARPU returning to growth beginning in FY2012.

So how exactly is DOCOMO going to make this growth possible? Well, let’s return to our oak tree for an explanation …
Roots

images

Our seedling needs a steady supply of water and nutrients to grow, and it gets these essentials from its network of roots. Similarly, DOCOMO is tapping into the data communication stream, promoting flat-rate billing to ensure a stable supply of revenue while providing reassurance to users, who want to enjoy mobile content and services without having to worry about the size of their monthly bill.

The number of subscribers to DOCOMO’s flat-rate service continues to increase in line with growth in demand for data communication services.

At the end of FY2009, 53% of DOCOMO subscribers (25.77 million) had chosen a flat-rate option. DOCOMO expects this ratio to reach 63% (31.7 million) in FY2010 and 70% in FY2011.
Branches

Our tree cannot survive on water and minerals alone. Without sunlight, the network of roots is meaningless. So the branches continue to multiply and divide in search of the sun. Similarly, DOCOMO attracts and retains subscribers by providing the innovative services and content that users want.

When it comes to data services, DOCOMO is “following the sun” in four specific ways:

* First, DOCOMO is promoting the benefits of the mobile Internet to light and medium users of i-mode ;
* Second, DOCOMO is cultivating an environment in which ordinary Japanese – not just the technologically savvy – can appreciate and make use of smartphones;
* Third, DOCOMO is expanding its customer base for 3G data cards used with PCs; and
* Fourth, DOCOMO is offering services targeted to users of newly popular devices such as e-book readers and tablet PCs.

An example of DOCOMO’s enhanced data services is its photo mail service. Launched in July 2009, the service allows users to remotely send images to 3G-capable digital photo frames.

After taking a photo with a mobile phone, a user simply sends the image as an email message over DOCOMO’s wireless network and through DOCOMO’s server to the photo frame, which displays it automatically. Sharing photos with family living far away has never been easier.

Photo mail is an example of what DOCOMO likes to call “simplexity” – simple solutions rendered from complex technologies. Once beyond our imagination, photo mail and similar data services are gradually becoming commonplace, enhancing our daily lives and raising our expectations for the future.

DOCOMO’s mature voice communications segment is now complemented by a promising data communications proposition that has only just begun to take root. The sky’s the limit.

Conexus – Asia’s Leading Alliance for Mobile Services

Friday, June 11, 2010

DOCOMO has steadily enhanced customer experiences as a founding member and active participant in the Conexus Mobile Alliance. Established in 2006 to link international roaming and corporate mobile services across Asia, Conexus is one of the region’s largest mobile alliances, comprising 11 leading operators who provide some 280 million mobile subscribers (as of March 2010) with voice, video and data roaming via GSM/GPRS, W-CDMA and HSDPA networks.
By joining forces under Conexus, operators ensure that when their customers roam in Asia they can continue to enjoy high-quality network coverage, personalized customer service, seamless connectivity and competitive pricing.
The following are some of the key services provided through the Conexus Mobile Alliance.

Pay-Per-Day Data Roaming

Alliance operators generally offer a flat daily charge for unlimited data or a pay-as-you-go plan that includes a convenient fixed charge for moderate amounts of data. The result is that Conexus customers roam overseas with confidence, knowing that they will pay predictable mobile-data roaming charges for email, data transmission and Internet browsing.
Toll-Free Customer Hotline

Seamless home-away-from-home roaming is further enhanced with a toll-free customer hotline. Travelers roaming on Conexus mobile network can call their home customer hotline absolutely for free. This is extremely useful whenever overseas travelers need help to activate a value-added service, configure a phone, check billing charges and so on.
Hosted Exchange Bundled with Smartphones

Conexus, working in partnership with NTT Communications, offers a comprehensive hosted exchange program that enables multinational corporations to support their expanding operations in Asia with integrated messaging. Using this one-stop service, companies can quickly and easily set up email servers, procure smartphones and launch mobile billing plans in any market where a Conexus member operates. For more about the service, visit www.ntt.com/worldwide/g_saas_ex.
Roaming Mileage Program [Free Register Now!!]

Conexus is a partner of Travelling Connect, a leading provider of loyalty management services to the global telecommunications industry. The program enables registered mobile subscribers to earn loyalty points (mileage) when they make mobile phone calls as they roam. Points can be redeemed for a variety of benefits offered by Travelling Connect partners, including airline and hotel. Visit www.travellingconnect.com.

DOCOMO to Begin Pre-launch Operation of LTE Network

TOKYO, JAPAN --- NTT DOCOMO, INC. announced that on June 8 it will begin verifying its new commercial mobile network system based on the Long Term Evolution (LTE) protocol in the Tokyo area, prior to the full-scale launch of extra-high-speed LTE commercial service in December.

The aim is to verify the LTE network system for speed, latency, stability of inter-cell handover and other conditions required for commercial operation.

DOCOMO expects to confirm 5 MHz-bandwidth throughput for 37.5 Mbps downlinks and 12.5 Mbps uplinks, and later 10 MHz-bandwidth throughput for maximum 75 Mbps downlinks and 25 Mbps uplinks in selected test areas.

The 2 GHz network system comprises dual W-CDMA/LTE base stations, LTE core network equipment and LTE-enabled mobile devices. For efficiency, DOCOMO has been installing LTE base-station components on existing W-CDMA 3G base stations. Base stations in DOCOMO’s existing W-CDMA network that already are equipped with dual W-CDMA/LTE remote radio equipment1 can be easily upgraded for LTE service with the addition of an LTE BDE (base station digital equipment).

The LTE devices to be used in the pre-launch operation are equipped for theoretical speeds of 100 Mbps downlinks and 50 Mbps uplinks. Compatibility with W-CDMA will enable seamless handover as the devices move between LTE and W-CDMA service areas in the network. The devices also are compatible with the GSM protocol, which will enable them to be used on LTE/GSM networks in overseas markets.
